Hello all,
Iam a proud owner of a Nissan Silvia S15 Spec-R from Cyprus.
·
NISSANshould continue in the same way the success of the R35 GT-R and introduce a newSilvia S16 and continue the legacy of the best drift car ever engineered.
An FR sports coupe, with 4-cylinder engine - derivation of the legendarySR20DET (maybe a new SR22VET with 350hp) - manual 6-speed gearbox, designelements from the GT-R, Nismo parts and versions later on, fuel efficiency andlow CO2 emissions, low/medium cost platform. With the same passion that the GTRProject team tested all this time, that know-how, technology and passion shouldbe passed through the new Silvia.
· With thefuture upscaling of the GT-R to hybrid supercar, the gap below in the sportssection is even bigger. The Z should continue as a GT-oriented car and evolveeven more.
· Thecompetition in this segment is high with even the Honda Civic Type-R has 2.0Lturbo /4-cylinder with more than 300hp.
So the need for a compact sports car platform is more than obvious as well asthe success. There cannot be a better legacy to build on than the Silvia.
Please find attached my design concepts of a new Nismo Silvia S16 based on theprevious S15, the current GT-R and the Vision Gran Turismo 2020, for a possiblefuture FR sports coupe platform.
Thank you inadvance,
Michael Papas
